Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by a casing, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IP54, the Bowers & Wilkins PI7's rating for solids indicates that ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have a weight of 50g . We take in account a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, Bowers & Wilkins PI7 are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is a major distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the two earbuds .
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have stereo speakers, what this means is that Bowers & Wilkins PI7's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. ANC makes use of advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds.
How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 sit tightly in place, creating a sound seal that reduces your environment sounds well as preventing the earbuds sound from leaking out .
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have a unit size of 9.2mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the device. The Bowers & Wilkins PI7's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Bowers & Wilkins PI7's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it. Bowers & Wilkins PI7's battery life is 4.5 hours, these last less than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and Bowers & Wilkins PI7's case is said to have a full charge of 18 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.

The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have Bluetooth version of 5, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth. Bowers & Wilkins PI7 support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio.
It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Bowers & Wilkins PI7 will work well with your MacBook.
If you are planning on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well. Bowers & Wilkins PI7 support APTX Adaptive, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps).
The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 support APTX HD, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm.
It supports high-quality 24-bit audio (at a bit rate of 576kbps).
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have 6 microphones. The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to reduce noise from the earbuds' sound. Bowers & Wilkins PI7 support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient sound so that they can still be heard even when wearing them
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the device can detect when they are removed from your ears .
If misplaced in a room, or can't easily find them in your bag, the Bowers & Wilkins PI7 support the find earbuds feature.
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 support fast charging. Most often, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to lower the time it takes to fully charge a device. Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have a mute function, they support the option to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device.
With the Bowers & Wilkins PI7, so you can access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever functions are supported on the earbuds. The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 support voice prompts. Automatically receive information via audio messages, say if there is a problem with the connection.
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 come with a special case. Carrying earphones openly, or placing them in your pockets without a casing may easily put them at risk of getting damaged.
